Raymie Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 on the subject of old photos, I was in hospitality for the Montrose game and had time for a five minute chat with Graham Shaw, who was my favourite player when I first started going along regularly as a young laddie in 1972. What a really nice guy. His biggest thrill was scoring the winner for Hearts in the cup final, being a Hearts supporter. Still looking fit and healthy after all these years. Of course, he formed a great partnership with Ken Mackie and between them banged in loadsagoals Jim "Max" Wallace was another player I admired who possessed a bullet of a left foot shot. I recall seeing a few long range free kicks whistle past the keepers Denis Nelson and Jim Gillespie provided a lot of the crosses, if I'm not mistaken? Great memories after being relegated the season before 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I remember Shaw and Mackie, both good players. It was a decent era to support the Pars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also the year that an evil lady was spawned into the world. GG must be a good age to have witnessed all this. A letter from the King must be in the post.

Great memories after being relegated the season before Didn’t we score 97 goals that season , I remember being at games where we beat Brechin(?) 8-0 and someone 7-2( Clyde maybe) and were regularly winning games by 4 or 5 goals. A great young side which would also have included Kenny Thopmson and maybe Alun Evans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Was at that game too. I think we might have out 6/7 past Albion Rovers? I think Evans was a bit later? Kenny was the fastest man in Scottish football. They had a race at Meadowbank, I believe and Kenny beat the likes of Arthur Duncan I played against Arthur Duncan one Thursday night at Easter Road - I was on the bench on the Saturday!!

scottyboy Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Here's some I've never seen before. Pity aboot the watermarks on pics, but amazing how EEP looked under construction, with a bit snaw. (at least i think it's snaw) Check the toon end out, Norrie for the younger ones on here. Oh! anybody know what that shelter looking thing is at the top of the Cowden end? The other one i believe is against Hearts. Last one, no idea regarding the Coca Cola logo. Edited February 23, 2023 by scottyboy If anyone says a shelter, i shall report for trolling. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all our games were at home in that campaign. Except the Celtic game. Edited February 23, 2023 by Al k Added about cup games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy hunting ground for United, especially semi finals. 6-2 v Hamilton, sounds like a classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
